Color Of The Blues.
John Prine & Susan Tedeschi.
Album: For Better, Or Worse.
Intro: D A E A
Up above me are the skies,
D A
Like the twinkle in your eyes
D A E E7
These things are the color of the blues,
A
In the mail your letter came,
D6 A A7
The ink and paper looked the same,
D Bm A E7 A
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues,
D
Bluebird sitting in the tree,
A
Seems to sympathize with me,
D A E
For he's not singing like he used to do
A
The pretty waters in the sea,
D A
Feel as cold as you left me,
D Bm A E7 A
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues,
Solo: Bm A6 A D A E6 A
There's a rainbow overhead,
D A
With more blue than gold and red,
D A E
Blue must be the color angels choose,
A
A blue dress you proudly wore,
D A
When you left to return no more,
D Bm A E7 A
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues,
D
Blue days come and blue days go,
A
How I feel nobody knows,
D A E
Life is mighty empty without you,
E A
There's a blue note in each song,
A
That I sing since you are gone,
D Bm A E7 A
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues,
D Bm A E7 Amaj7 A D A E7 A
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues.
